Remember hearing about the tornado that hit Minn. at the end of May? Well, residents of Hugo, Minn have stated that they saw some strange happenings during the tornado.
Jason Akins said the twister unwound a roll of toilet paper in his bathroom — draped it across the countertop, then rewound it in the sink. The toilet paper didn’t even rip.
“All I could say was, ‘You have got to be kidding me,’” Akins recalled.
Now isn’t that strange? I wonder if it was as tightly rolled as it had originally been?
Oddly the winds didn’t touch the dishes of cat food and water that were set out for his pet, yet they ripped away his roof and overturned the sofas.
It’s almost like the Tornado has a personality … for example Terry Clarkin said that the Hugo tornado picked up and stuck four steak knives in his yard. The knives landed in a perfect square with the blades stuck in the earth about three inches deep.
Across the street, a tree had been stripped of leaves, and instead was filled with pink wads of insulation — looking much like a tree from a cartoon.
Other interesting finds included a fishing boat against the remains of a front porch while others found canoes, toys and bank books.
Get this story, about a man who claimed to be carrying a bomb-
A recent stand-off between a man and the police ended peacefully in the streets of Phoenix.
The Phoenix Police received a call at about 3:50 p.m. one day, from a driver who said he saw a man acting strangely and walking in and out of traffic along Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix. I live in a big city too, I’m sure police gets calls like this often enough. When the police arrived to check out the complaint they noticed a man was holding a yellow blanket to conceal his hands and upper chest and he was saying that he had a bomb.The Police shut down the street and evacuated a Burger King and Circle K.
The officers asked the man to put down the blanket and surrender for more than an hour, but when he refused, police fired several stun bag rounds and concussion grenades, and sicked a police dog on the man. Ow!
After the police action, officers ran up to the man, and he threw what he had been concealing at them. It turned out to be a block of wood. It was unclear why the man was acting in such an odd way. He might have been mentally unstable or on drugs.
The man faces charges of aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. He was taken to a local hospital with a minor bite on one of his arms. I bet that ended up being an interesting story for the ER staff to talk about.
